Image Volume. Getting noticed with 40 images or less?

contributors are our lifeblood and their artwork is what has helped
us grow our base of loyal picture buyers and kept the lights on. We
have over 4000 contributors at Cutcaster, who have uploaded at
least one file to the site. Some like Yuri Arcurs,
Elena
Elisseeva, iofoto or MonkeyBusiness
Images have thousands of images while many other equally as
talented contributors have less than 40 images a piece on our site.
What is so important about the number 40? If you uploaded 40 or
less files to Cutcaster and then just stopped, you may be
scratching your head why your images don't come up more in searches
or produce more sales. If you are less than 40 it might be time to
upload more photos. Here's why: You might ask yourself, "What´s
wrong with 40?" or "I will wait until I see sales before I upload
more." Cutcaster now has over 800,000 unique, high quality stock
photos and stock vectors from amazing contributors all over the
globe. We are getting pickier and pickier with our selection as we
grow. If we take a contributor's portfolio on Cutcaster, which has
40 accepted images and compare it to Cutcaster's entire collection
of over 800,000 files, you start to see why constantly uploading or
having a larger portfolio at Cutcaster is a good strategy to get
more eyeballs on your content. 1. For every 1 of the pictures in
the 40-something contributor's portfolio there are roughly 20,000
royalty free stock photos or vectors from other contributors at
Cutcaster competing with your 1 image. So the chance that your
image will be seen, first in our collection, and secondly, on our
website, is comparable to the odds that you will become a
professional athlete: 1 in 22,000, which for most of us is pretty
slim. How can you correct this and get the odds back in your favor?
New and old contributors need to have an image presence of at least
500-1000 images to expect regular sales that they can rely on for
earnings, since they are competing for buyers' eyeballs and
attention on our website. If you only have 40 photos now, you might
make an occasional sale, but in order to make more money, you need
to upload more of your images to Cutcaster or expand the diversity
of your portfolio. It's time to turn that 40 into 400 or even
better 4000. Good luck. Note: The above images can be purchase at
